The Strangers’ Case
The Strangers’ Case
Tragedy strikes a Syrian family in Aleppo, starting a chain reaction of events involving five different families in four different countries. A doctor and her daughter come home following a chaotic shift at an Aleppo hospital, and in the midst of a birthday celebration the two women are forced to make a difficult decision that will forever change their lives and their relationship. A soldier witnesses heinous crimes towards men, women and children in service of the Syrian regime and finds himself reevaluating his own humanity. A smuggler in Turkey tries desperately to make ends meet for his young son. In an effort to save enough money to afford their own escape, he arranges for passage to Greece on inflatable liferafts. A poet who has made it to the safety of a Turkish refugee camp with his young family barters for space on an overcrowded boat. A Greek coastguard captain spends his days and nights rescuing sinking lifeboats full of migrants off the coast of Lesvos, constantly haunted by those he wasn’t able to save.
